ATTEMPT TO REMOVE
DURHAM POSTMASTER
Durham, N. C.—Calls issued
recently by *the postoffice de
partment for examinations for
the office of postmaster in
Durham has brought to light
the fact that clerks in the Dur
ham ofice have filed a series
of technical charges against
Postmaster J. O. Lunsford, in
an effort to bring about his
removal prior to the expiration
of his term, September 1.
Copies of the charges have
not been obtainable. It is stat
ed however, that the clerks
have charged that Mr. Luns
ford violated the seniority rule
of the postoffice department
in advancing clerks, and it is
also asserted that the clerks
charge the postmaster with
dabbling in politics.

Landlord Is a
Good Old Soul
(From The Los Angeles Times)
The wold’s most amiable landlord
appears to have been located in Jer
sey City. That is a strange place tc
come upon that which is lovable and
praiseworthy—but it has been done.
In this particular case the mar
seems to have purchased a six-story
apartment house for the express pur
pose of giving expression to his kind
ly program. He has 100 apartments,
but will not charge more than $35 a
month for any one of them. He will
not rent to a family without children
and he pays a bonus for visits of the
stork. When he took possession he
offered a prize of $100 a year for
twenty years to the first boy baby
born in his building. There was a
like premium of $50 a year for the
first girl. Both of these awards have
already been claimed and made.
Furthermore, this landlord provides
a garage for baby cabs and play
grounds and playrooms for the chil
dren. There is a kindergarten in
connection with the apartments, and
hospital or medical service is avail
able for the tenants almost without
price. There is a Boy Scout camp
on the premises and the young folks
are given every opportunity to im
prove as well as enjoy themselves.

Washington.—A letter from Au
gust A. Busch, president of the An
heuser-Busch Company of St. Louis,
calling the United States the great
est bootlegger in the world because
1'quor is sold on Shipping Board ves-
>e!s outside the three mile limit, was
sent to President Harding.
That letter with its exhibits of
wine lists and a similar list from
he United States Line steamer Presi
dent Pierce, presented by Represent-
Aives Callivan, Democrat, of Massa
chusetts, has blown the lid off a
situation thus far kept quiet in the
nterests of the American Merchant
Marine.
Today everybody is out with state
ments.
In a letter to Adolphus Busch, son
if August, Chairman Lasker of the
pipping Board, declares the brewer
s “thoroughly selfish” and does not
‘come before the bar of public opin-
on with clean hands.”
Mr. Lasker asserts the lawfulness
>f the practice and expresses the
>pinion that dry American passen-
ers cannot compete with wet foreign
liners. He is backed up with a
formidable legal opinion from Gen
cral Counsel Schlessinger showing
that for the purpose of this contro-
•orsy American ships are not “terri
tory subject to the jurisdiction be
yond the three-mile limit.”
Presumably, as showing the accu
racy of the reasoning, Mr. Lasker de
clares Adolphus Busch’s grandfather,
founder of the brewing company, was
the kaiser’s closest friend in Ameri
ca and maintained a castle in Ger
many.
Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti-Sa
loon League, joins in the denuncia
tion of the Anheuser-Busch effort as
simply seeking to discredit prohibi
tion and create sentiment for the sale
of beer—which it is, of course. He
suggests to the Shipping Board that
the Supreme Court’s recent decision
should be interpreted as barring the
ports of the United States to anj
/essel carrying liquor, under seal oi
otherwise, and thereby the board
would be relieved of the competitior
'.hat compelled it to keep the steamei
bars open.
Prohibition Commissioner Hayne?
diplomatically refers to a conflict ir
opinion as to whether the Volstead
Act applied to American vessels ol
the high seas, but bravely states a;
soon as the Department of Justict
and the courts have cleared awa^
the dispute he will enforce the lav
to the limit.
To Avoid Curdling

sion of the penitentiary author

Philanthropic Air
About Studebaker
(By S. S. Fountaine)
Studebaker stirred the imagination
of the traders again and took the
market leadership with a snap-the-,
whip whirl that threw the other ring
leaders off their feet. There has
not been a manipulation with such
mastery since the great Bethlehem
campaign that enabled some of the
insiders, who had been waiting more
than a decade for a chance to con
vert their holdings into ready cash,
to benevolently distribute a substan
tial portion of them to the gentle
public.
There is not much doubt that some
of the Studebaker philanthropists
may be induced to part with their
precious certificates around these
prices without great persuasion, even
if they might be accused of depart
ing from their well known conserva
tism in so far as to approve the de
claration of an extra dividend of $5
a share on the stock.
The industrial progenitors of the
Studebaker Motor Car learned nearly
a century ago out South Bend way
that the best business policy was to
give a dollar in old hickory value
:'or every dollar they took in.
“How’s your Studebaker standing
xp?” Si would ask Seth on County
3ourt day.
“Like a lightning rod,” came the
xnswer. And both were propd to
joost their wagons, built of seasoned
>ak and hickory—not kiln dried like
he Cincinnati “sidebars”, a poor
:ompetitor.
But times have changed and the
^tudebakers are specializing on mo
tors. They are making a fine car.
